Taking some time to Play

I am taking some time today to join in a coupe of challenges I came across in blogland. I have all these stamps that I am so.not.using, and I WANT TO! So, I am.

Simon Says Blog is running their month challenge of showing what we made during October using their images. I bought this set, Holiday Labels last year and I haven't even used it until today! ......sheesh. I used the wanna sketch #21 for my layout.

Both your cards are so striking, Vicki!! Love the bright green and the pinkish red on the first card!! The hexagons with the snowflakes are great and I like the stripy bg and the cute twine bow!! Lovely X-mas card!!!And for the butterflies - now are those great or what!!!??? Stunning, Vicki!!!! You have really nailed that technique!!! Great colours, love the triangles as part of the bg and the black edge make your colours pop so nicely!!! That butterfly looks so real to life I think it is going to fly off you card any second!!! I do like that sentiment stamp, too - lovely!!! Two great cards, Vicki!!!

Oh my goodness, Vicki: these are show-stopping, knock-out cards! Isn't using NBUS fun? Your debut of your last year's set: fabulous! And those embossed butterflies...swoooning! They're gorgeous, elegant, stunning! As Mrs. A's *GD commenter*, THANK YOU for sharing this gem at the Emboss Your Butterfly Challenge! I'm off to scope out that technique you used...~c

What a truly amazing butterfly background! The butterflies stand out with the beautiful, rich colors, and I love the extra detail of the triangles. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
